3 From the Editor This year at the GHRA Gypsy Horse World Show we ll have four new awards. It all started with a donation from Debra and Marc Prichard. Debra Heron-Prichard, DVM, was one of our founding directors and has been so generous to the GHRA, giving monetary donations to help us get started and continuing to help to keep this breed going in its infant stages. Debra and Marc donated a draft harness. We decided to use it as an award for High Point Driving, horse and handler combination. Jeanne and Bobby Schlenk then thought it would be a great idea to have High Point English and High Point Western Performance awards, and a stall decoration award has finally gotten into the mix; Jeanne and Bobby donated prizes for the English and Western High Point Awards and Showoffs (see ad in this issue) donated a custom photo drape for the stall decoration award. Thank you so much for everyone s ads. Advertising your beautiful horses and products is what keeps this magazine in print. We are the only magazine dedicated to the Gypsy Horse.

4 AROUND THE REGISTRY World Show GHRA World Show in Fort Worth, Texas, February 1 3, 2013 is getting close! Lots of questions about the show have the phone ringing regularly. If there is anything you are unsure about please don t hesitate to call (281) or ghra@swbell.net. This promises to be a great show. New Setup for the Studbook The work is steady on switching the studbook over to Excel formatting. The process takes time because we re back-checking every file, trying to make the studbook as accurate as possible. The Excel format will allow a more complete and searchable list of horses registered by state, region of the country and abroad, age, sex and much more. New Logo The new logo was chosen by a Board of Directors mail-in vote. Putting the new logo on all the paperwork and various items that carry it is time consuming but worth the effort. This logo shows all that the registry stands for: the beautifully feathered black tobiano Gypsy, the open book of records, the tree representing the lineage of the horses, from the roots up to the present day and of course, our name and initials. GHRA is dedicated to the heritage of the Gypsy Horse, and this logo represents what the registry does and who the registry is. Advertising in the Gypsy Horse World Magazine You will notice some new advertisers in this and future issues. GHRA advertisers pay for this quality breed publication and plans are in the works to add more wonderful advertisers to the list of supporters. Please seriously consider shopping with them when the need arises. How to Register your Horse The registration process is a bit difficult to understand if you are new to it.

5 Gypsy Horse World Advertorial ON THE COVER three of our mares have won the coveted yop producing mare in the world (Produce of Dam) award at the Gypsy Horse World Show. We choose not to breed outside mares because we have developed such a strong program, so if you want a calm and winning A Wizards Spell Gypsy Horse you ll have to get it from our ranch. A Wizards Spell Sir Winston and Linda Brown All of our foals are born into our hands and we put a halter on each one immediately; they become accustomed to a towel on their back, simulating early saddle training. The foals quickly learn to pick up their feet, walk on a lead, trailer load, and generally stand quietly for whatever needs to be done. This gives our buyers such a leg up on other untrained horses that it is no wonder that our horses are in such high demand. Foals learn pedestal training almost from birth, and seeing a newborn foal playing with the big red soccer ball is not uncommon. A Wizards Spell Ranch in Burleson, Texas, just south of Fort Worth, is one of America s largest and earliest breeders of these fabulous horses. The first of our imports arrived from England in Today some 30-plus horses call this ranch home. The undefeated, top-producing stallion in the world under all judges two years running at the Gypsy Horse World Show is A Wizards Spell Sir Winston, A141. Our second stallion, A Wizards Spell Sir Kensington, B419, was Reserve Grand Champion Stallion at the Gypsy Horse World Show. And the offspring of our third stallion, A Wizards Spell Worthington, A510, win over and over at the World Show. We keep these three amazing foundation breeding stallions for our closed breeding program. We handpicked and imported our 15 mares from foundation Romani bloodlines and, as a result, ours are some of the finest mares in the nation; mane, feather and conformation are hard to beat. In fact, Being one of the early importers, we were clearly obliged to see what these incredibly intelligent horses would excel at beyond the Romani driving. That s why we have had our horses work cattle, cut, rope, rein, pen, perform dressage, do incredible tricks, perform in driving competitions, jump, show, trail ride, and attend parades and charity events quietly enough for public exposure. We have been invited to teach horsemanship clinics, provide entertainment for VIPs, and escort dignitaries. We initially thought that we would attract experienced horse people Gypsy Horse World Magazine Volume 10 No 4 Page 5 who had recognized this breed s amazing temperament. But over the past eight years we ve been surprised to find that our main audience is first-time horse buyers. We happily teach these beginners everything they need to know to make their horse owning experience a joy. And it works: For the past four years and now into our fifth Gypsy Horse World Show we are proud to say that our first-time horse buyers win and win and win which is a testament to our horses and their early training as well as the time we give to our buyers. We finance and ship and will happily welcome you to our extended family of happy Gypsy Horse owners. Come join in the fun! Ranch visits welcome by appointment, but be careful; they re an addiction and your next Gypsy Horse is likely at our ranch.
6 Region 2 Pam Barthel New Horse, New Owner, New Discipline a story of how a Gypsy gelding chose his new owner and how the owner chose a path for them both. By Karen Meyers and Brannigan A couple of years ago I found myself horseless and was invited to come out anytime to Miller Stables in Tyler, Minnesota, to play or work with any of the Gypsy Horses they raise and breed. One gelding, who was on the Millers sale list, was a Gypsy gelding named: MS Brannigan, B214. Brannigan is a very charming horse with tons of personality. Black and white with the numeral 7 on his right thigh, he has the Lucky Mustache and stands 16.1 hands. I started work in the round pen with him, and we worked mainly on the ground doing lots of circles, and establishing boundaries. I found him to be very willing and a joy to work with. After working around the farm for a few weeks, I found myself in a terrible depression and was not having the best of days. I was enjoying being able to come out to the farm and work with the horses, but I yearned for that horse of my own. I was walking through the barn yard, doing odd tasks here and there, and kept hearing in the background a horse neighing over and over. I finally pulled myself out of my self-pity and took a look around in case a horse was in trouble. My eyes were drawn to a paddock across the farm yard; and there, in the corner of the paddock, was Brannigan, looking at me, calling, trying to get my attention. I realized at that moment a wonderful, intelligent horse had chosen me above all others. It took a couple of months, but a check exchanged hands, and I now owned a Gypsy Horse. My breed of choice had always been the saddle horse types. I had bred American Saddlebreds for years, but these cute little stocky buggers (and one very large one) had me perplexed. For about five years I had been interested in Dressage but had found, with two very bad knees in need of replacement, that my days of posting English riding were over. I went digging and found a new discipline called Western Dressage. As I looked into Western Dressage, and I called the Western Dressage Association of America and did research, a passion for the discipline grew within me. I co-founded the WDA of Minnesota, a recognized affiliate of the national organization. My guess is that many people out there will wonder why not do Traditional Dressage, since many Gypsies show the skill and gaits for success there too. As I mentioned earlier, two bad knees set me apart from traditional dressage. I will try to keep those interested updated on our progress in Western Dressage, as we go along. I am looking forward to traveling down Center Line in Western Dressage next year with Brannigan representing the Gypsy Horse. You can read more about Western Dressage at Western Dressage Association of Minnesota at Brannigan s Facebook page Gypsy Horse World Magazine Volume 10 No 4 Page 6

It was perfect: sunny and 72 degrees. I rode A Wizards Spell Winstons Fiona, A582. My friend Dakotah Van Huss rode with me on her pretty Paint mare; so did Jenifer Groombridge, riding A Wizards Spell Winstons Mersey, A797; and Stephen Stokes, riding A Wizards Spell Winstons Whimsy, A801. The next day, Sunday December 2, I went to a trail clinic at the Flying Dollar Ranch. We worked on some trail patterns in the arena for the World Show, then worked on some of the obstacles you may see at an ACTHA ride (American Competitive Trail Horse Association). If you like to trail ride I would highly recommend looking for one of these rides in your area; they are a lot of fun. After that we went on a real trail ride on the property. It was a great day in the saddle. Horse breed. He has eased into the daily role of lesson mount at the Flying Dollar Ranch. Most recently Darby and student Alyssa Ballew, age 14, of Midlothian, won the year-end Championship buckle in the Walk-Trot division in the Ellis County Equine Association. The pair competed in five shows in halter, all English events and all Western events, and came out with the most combined points overall for the year. The pair also won the High Point Youth Division at the Feathered Horse Classic in Belton in November. Members of the Silver Spurs 4-H Club used Darby to teach all the 4th-graders of Waxahachie about the Gypsy Horse breed at Ag Day, sponsored by Texas Farm Bureau. The elementary kids loved his mustache, feather; and goofy personality! Darby and his trainer, Julie Hinz, joined up with the American Competitive Trail Horse Association this year as well, and have been making the rounds through Texas competing alongside other breeds over challenging and fun trail obstacles. Of course, Darby stands out and usually wins the Best Groomed award. A Wizards Spell Ranch Linda Brown Burleson, Texas December 2 in the Fort Worth Stockyards. More than 2000 people atttended; the children (and adults) were allowed into the pen to brush and hug the horses in a heartwarming show of the joy sweet animals can bring. In attendance were Linda Brown, Eric and Christie Davidson, Stephanie Castle; and photographer Gail Finger. Aunique Ranch Bobby & Jeanne Schlenk La Porte and New Waverly, Texas Next up in January will be the Fort Worth Stock Show parade. I plan on riding in that. And you can look for Dakotah to be riding Fiona in the youth classes at the World Show on Feb Flying Dollar Ranch Sandra and Ralph Neal Italy, Texas Horsefeathers Darby, B835, a bay gelding owned by Sandy Neal of Italy, Texas, has been a very busy boy. Since he won his World and Reserve Championships at Fort Worth in January 2012, he s been acting as an ambassador for the Gypsy The organization Snowball Express creates hope and new memories for the children of the fallen military heroes who have died serving our country since 9/11. Three yearlings and one weanling from Gypsy Horse World Magazine Volume 10 No 4 Page 7 We are so proud to introduce the newest member of the Aunique Ranch Family, Auniques Brakenhills SOLO, A1319. SOLO arrived in a grand manner. He flew from the UK and was videotaped leaving for the U.S. On the flight he had his own personal professional groom, who claimed that he had flown with many a Gypsy Horse, but had never seen one as gentle and full of hair and feather as SOLO. James Taylor of Brakenhills Gypsy Horses, UK, was SOLO s previous owner and he made a giclee of SOLO and did a video of his drawing. SOLO s flight can be seen on Youtube and Facebook. SOLO is out of quarantine and now at his new home, where he is much loved. A Special Thank You to James Taylor for considering us for this magnificent stallion.

8 Michelle Simono Silt, Colorado 4C Barrington and Beautys Beast, B1105, was awarded Gelding of the Month by Region 5 Jeff Bartko the Gypsy Gelding Fan Club on Facebook. Beast was also the Grand Champion Gelding at the Colorado Draft Horse Classic Show. (Results, page 18) Beast took 4th in the Gypsy Geldings class, 6th in North American Bred and 2nd in the Color Class at the Continental Divide Show. From Gypsy Gelding Fan Club on FB: A Good Stallion makes a GREAT GELDING! If you see a gelding that s as nice as your stallion, maybe your stallion should be a gelding. Welcome all and spread the encouragement! Geldings only or to-be-gelded sales. We want to give our beautiful boys their own special place, remember. We gladly encourage community help questions about showing, cleaning, caring, nutrition, etc., for our Gypsies. We learn a lot from each other that way. Region 6 Gail DeMarco Holly Rydman Olympia, Washington Tagline, B649, and I took Champion ribbons at the Western Regional Gypsy Show (at the Oregon State Fair) in Western Pleasure, Western Dressage Suitability, English Pleasure, English Dressage Suitability, Jog in the Park and Supreme Champion for Halter Geldings. Cielo Celeste Farm Celeste Huston The 2012 North American Gypsy Affaire and GCDHA National Championship shows were absolutely wonderful for us; we left very proud and humbled. Our Lion King son, 2008 Blue Mountain Tiger, B1176, with but two months formal training by the husband-and-wife team, CJ and Samantha VanSickle, won High Point Horse and National Champion in the GCDHA show winning four National Championships and two Reserve Championships. There were four judges in both shows combined, making four differing opinions; all four judges agreed that his place was at the top! The most humbling and elating experience was when St Clarins, B252, already an All Round Champion, was given by popular vote the Ambassadorship for the Gypsy breed. Not only he but I was awarded this honor, for having done all I have been able to do to bring this breed into light and creating much interest in the public. Our stall decoration designer, Mark Torrey, was awarded a lovely prize in the form of an award to be given in perpetuity called the Mark Torrey Perpetual Trophy for best show setup. We hope Mark will be awarding by picking the winner each year! In their elegant and high-end event Carla Johnson and Becky Glover had Legend Awards given to the top legendary stallions, Dunbrody of Roscreigh, Nobby, Romeo A.K.A. Clononeen Mull of Kintyre, and SD Chief, and did it with style and grace! Lessons should be learned from this program, from the trumpeter to the decor and wonderful togetherness, which would perk up interest nationwide.

9 Artist Spotlight - Marsha McDonald The one constant in Marsha McDonald s life has been the horse. As a small child she fondly recalls sitting glued to the television on Saturday mornings, watching Fury, My Friend Flicka, and Trigger. Walter Farley s Black Stallion books, and others like them, she read so often the pages wore out. Dreams were born in those early years, says the artist. Visions of horses in every size, shape and color pranced in my head and were drawn and colored onto whatever surface I could find. And if I wasn t drawing or coloring horses, I was writing stories about them. McDonald was born in Fort Worth, Texas. The family moved to West Texas when she was just a year old. It was there she grew to love the rugged landscape where horses, cattle, wildlife and wide open spaces captured her heart. In her mid-twenties, she was still not satisfied with her job, with big-city life in Houston. It was then that she began seriously to consider pursuing art as a career. At first she had reservations. Eventually, she went from working a full time job to part time, as her reputation and art sales began to help pay the bills. As her confidence increased, McDonald decided to pursue another dream. In her mind, she pictured herself riding her horse underneath vast West Texas skies, with her dogs trotting happily alongside. That dream, too, came together like pieces in a puzzle. McDonald bought some land and built a house and studio in a small town west of her birthplace, Fort Worth. In Parker County, where I live, horses are everything! When I first moved to Weatherford, I painted the more commonly seen racing Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds. Then the Cutting Horse Industry moved in and literally took over in my area. Suddenly I found myself being commissioned to paint some of the top Cutting Horses in the world, says McDonald. During slow periods, in between commissioned works, McDonald began teaching art. At one point she had as many as 20 children and adults taking both group and private lessons. About this time, she also began to get interested in other horse breeds, the kind she only read about in equine books or saw in the movies, or at a parade or specialty show. She sought out breeders and owners of such unusual horses as the Peruvian Paso, Andalusian, Friesian, Warmbloods, draft horses and mules, just to name a few. She was always welcomed warmly to their homes and farms, and encouraged to photograph any time she wanted to. At an art show one year, a veterinarian friend introduced me to two sisters, Jan Easter and Priscilla Cox. They were involved with a magical breed of horse known as the Gypsy Cob, says McDonald. I knew nothing about those horses, other than maybe having seen a picture in a book. They invited me out to see them, and that is when my fascination with the horses first began. Several years passed, and I learned of a breeder living right in the same town I live in, she recalls. The artist visited Image Setter Ranch, and once again she found herself being caught up in the spell of the Gypsy Horse. Diane Towson commissioned a painting of a mare and foal for her husband s birthday, and invited the artist to take pictures of any of her horses. That day, McDonald knew she wanted to learn much more about the Gypsy Cob, and maybe do a series of paintings on them some day. This year she embarked on that project, starting with a photography trip to Randy and Brenda Hearon s 4C s Gypsy Horses in Oklahoma. There are many reasons why she is attracted to the Gypsy Cob. In addition to their beauty and wonderful disposition, they have a magical quality about them. They are the horses of fairy tales. To me, each kind of horse, whether it is a high-dollar pure bred, or a magnificent wild mustang, is a beauty to behold, says McDonald. Perhaps it s because I look at them with the eyes of an artist. In my opinion, each one has a different measure, its own worthiness. Capturing that in a drawing or painting is what I focus on, and it s a challenge I take very seriously!

14 GHRyA Youth at the Oklahoma State Fair Ava Smalley blinging on 4C Lion Kings Nala Emory Smalley won third place on 4C Little Gypsy Fable The Littles at Oklahoma The Littles, as they are affectionately called by the Hearon family and friends, competed in the Lead Line class at the Oklahoma State Fair in September. The line-up of eight youth entries for this class was amazing, so the judge faced a difficult job. As she studied each entry s horsemanship and riding skills, however, her decision became clear. Sparkling little 5-year-old horsewoman, Isabella Hearon, riding the experienced CDF Heza Corker, A183, was presented first place. Following in third place, skillfully working the crowd with his waves and wide smile, was 5-year-old Emory Smalley riding his trusty steed, 4C Little Gypsy Fable, A608. Taking the close fourth-place ribbon was a super horseman, 6-year-old McHale Howell, showing his riding ability on a borrowed horse, the handsome SK Keatons Charm, B303. Finishing out the Littles line-up in fifth place was the extremely talented, blinged-out cowgirl, Ava Smalley, riding the dazzling 4C Lion King s Nala, A560, with little 4C Nala s Mirakole tagging along behind. What a successful show for the Littles of 4C s Gypsy Horses!

16 Can or should I clip my Gypsy Cob? Will it make me win for sure? I have been asked to give my thoughts and reasonings as to whether a Gypsy Cob should be clipped. First, for those who perhaps don t know me, or have not met me, or have not shown their horses under me, may I briefly introduce myself and say what would give me the authority to write this article. I have had Gypsy Cobs and been around them now for, let s say well over 40 years (not giving my age away any more than that). I was brought up with them and learned their characteristics and history. Some of my closest and most trusted friends are Gypsies, respected and kind people, folk I can rely on in a crisis; and it was with their help that I wrote the breed standard for Gypsy Cobs more than 11 years ago. I am president and founder of GCSL and vice-president of GHRA. I have judged all around the world, given talks and seminars and written numerous magazine articles about the Gypsy Cob. I am currently on a mission to write a concise book. Nothing has changed in the breed standard during this time. Every breeder aims to improve on each generation; each aims for that perfection, and as near to the standard as possible. But, of course fashion comes and goes, colour, size, etc. For example the South of England are breeding smaller Gypsy Cobs and the North are not so keen on it. Size is another topic frequently argued between the Travellers themselves, yet be it 12hh or 15hh the breed standard is the same. So the question of clipping has been brought to my attention by a number of breeders in the USA. I will endeavor to answer it in a clear and concise way without prejudice or favor to either view. The Gypsy Cob breed perhaps carries the most hair and feather of any breed, and that feature is part of the attraction something that has drawn our eyes to them over the years. Their names, such as Road Sweeper, gives one a good idea why the name was chosen. The breed has a dense coat in winter and a body coat in summer as smooth as silk and shiny as a recently polished mahogany table. The mane is profuse and tail thick, dense and long. Feather in abundance, starting from the knee and surrounding the whole leg, having the consistency of straight silk, not coarse or wavy, gives a gentle but unique flicking action at the trot and the appearance of sweeping the road. In My Opinion - by Carol Smettem-Minson ladies! Long whiskers, eye lashes and tufts on the ears are all correct and are part of the breed s unusual stamp, part of why people become addicted to and love the breed. So what about the question of clipping all that hair? Gypsy Cobs are the only breed that has a moustache the Husky: and beard even Gypsy Horse in World the Magazine Their Volume coats 10 No 4 Page 16 My first question to you, and one you should ask yourself, is what is your honest reason for clipping? I have heard all the excuses on the planet as to why an owner clips his or her Gypsy Cob, but the facts remain simple. The breed has thrived for years in its native country and worked extremely hard pounding the English lanes, pulling a wagon behind and yes, we do sometimes have hot summers! Honestly, would a genuine Gypsy on the road clip his Cob or even have the facilities to do so? No electric hook-ups on the road side, so no... of course not. Instead, they know basic equine care in cooling down a sweated-up horse, how to stop harness rash, prevent chills and muscle spasm. And yes, they know the effects of lactic acid too. To say I clip my Gypsy Cob s head because the hair gets caught in the harness/bridle is just a poor excuse. If the harness is fitted correctly no hair will get caught up in it. Do we clip girth hair because it gets caught up? No, we check this as we tack up. Gypsy Cobs have worked hard for years and years and have never needed to be clipped because of an irritating harness. Occasionally a Gypsy Cob that works hard and has an owner that has the facilities for clipping will have what is known as a trace clip. This should be acceptable to any judge in a breed show; the purpose of the trace clip is to keep the throat, heart and lungs cool, and it is done only for this purpose. The question asked, Do I have to clip my Gypsy Cob to win a show? What a sweeping statement that is! The answer is NO... they can be complete Hairy Marys and should not get penalized. However, I appreciate that in America the climate can warrant a Cob s being clipped; but remember, the coat acts as a heat reflector, preventing the hot sun from directly contacting the skin. The coat does the same in the winter, keeping water and snow away from the skin. Think about certain breeds of heavycoated dogs, the Old English Sheepdog,
17 in summer also act as an insulator against heat. The Gypsy Cob is the same. Run your fingers under the hot sweaty coat of your Gypsy Cob on a sunny day and feel how cool his skin is! So if you clip your horse in summer, are you doing him any favors? Honestly consider this when you clip for summer; is it really the best for your horse in your circumstances? Owners who think that clipping their horses to keep them cool will get them around the clipping rule should consider the rule. Judges do not want to see any signs of recent clipping. So if you plan to show, make sure the hair has grown back enough to cover clipper lines and pink skin. This, however, does not mean heads should be clipped down to the wood. In fact the standard says any sign of recent clipping is undesirable and will be penalized. Remember the beard, moustache, and feather I mentioned? Without them you are lacking part of the breed standard and will be penalized by any well respected Gypsy Cob judge. Who thinks a scalped head shows a more refined profile? Don t lose the breed standard in attempting to highlight a pretty head. Of course, it goes without saying that if you own a Gypsy Cob you can do whatever you see fit with it, be it clip it, hog it, dye it black. No one has a right to dictate what an individual does with his or her own animal UNLESS you are showing your Gypsy Cob in a Gypsy Cob breed class. You are there to represent the breed, and it is YOUR DUTY to this breed to represent it in the correct manner. Show every Gypsy Cob with a view toward keeping it as much to the breed standard as possible; likewise, a judge should have the breed standard firmly stamped in his or her head. A Cob has heavy flat bone, built for carrying weight; it is fit not fat. It should have a wide chest, long neck, short back and, above all, feather in abundance and mane in excessive amounts, with the appearance of a thick-set Hairy Cob. Will clipping your Gypsy Cob detract from what we are looking for as breeders and judges? To present a Gypsy Cob at a show to be judged as a representative of the breed in any other way than what I have just described is doing yourselves, your breed and your country a very large disservice, which we in the UK find unacceptable. The breed was exported to America in good faith that it would be promoted as such, that breeders would strive for perfection and want to show the general public how fantastic these unique horses are. Any person who thinks clipping their Gypsy Cob is the only way to win is delusional. Any judge who thinks only clipped Gypsy Cobs should be winning should not be allowed anywhere near a Gypsy Cob breed class. As they say, Everything in moderation. Enjoy your Gypsy Cobs and enjoy your showing; but if you love the breed truly, then keep to the breed standard. Don t change it into some breed that sadly we don t recognize, a breed remotely resembling the beautiful Cobs first exported to America. (Next issue, look for SELECTIVE BREEDING FOR GYPSY COBS: THE PROGRESS AND PITFALLS ) GHRA Suggestions on Clipping If you must clip try to do so at least six weeks prior to a show. Never clip less than 1/2 inch from the skin. Guards for your clippers are available at most supply stores on line. No clipping inside the ears. Never clip facial whiskers or a moustache. Tails and manes should not be cut. Remember, you are showing a Gypsy Horse. Gypsy Horse World Magazine Volume 10 No 4 Page 17
